COVID-19 UPDATE

As a result of the recent COVID-19 outbreak and the restrictions currently in place set by the NSW Health, Rockdale Musical Society has unfortunately made the decision to postpone our production of Annie. This has been a very difficult decision to make, however we take the health and safety of all those involved in the production and our audience members with the utmost importance.

Please bare with us during these difficult times while we sort to get everything back on track. An email will be sent out soon to all those who purchased tickets to the show.

5 Olympic Pr, Bankstown
Based on the popular comic strip by Harold Gray, Annie has become a worldwide phenomenon and was the winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Annie is the perfect family-friendly musical and features some of the greatest theatre hits ever written, including "Tomorrow."

With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. She is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage that is run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. With the help of the other girls in the Orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous world of NYC. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie finds a new home and family in billionaire, Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a loveable mutt named Sandy.
